    itemFormatter

    Gets or sets the item formatter function that allows you to customize the appearance of the chart elements.

    If specified, the function should take three parameters: the chart's IRenderEngine responsible for rendering elements on the chart, a HitTestInfo parameter that describes the element being rendered, and a function that provides the default rendering for the item.

    For example:

    itemFormatter: function (engine, hitTestInfo, defaultRenderer) {
      var ht = hitTestInfo,
          binding = 'downloads';
    
      // check that this is the right series/element
      if (ht.series.binding == binding && ht.pointIndex > 0 &&
          ht.chartElement == ChartElement.SeriesSymbol) {
    
        // get current and previous values
        var chart = ht.series.chart,
            items = chart.collectionView.items,
            valNow = items[ht.pointIndex][binding],
            valPrev = items[ht.pointIndex - 1][binding];
    
        // add line if value is increasing
        if (valNow > valPrev) {
          var pt1 = chart.dataToPoint(ht.pointIndex, valNow),
              pt2 = chart.dataToPoint(ht.pointIndex - 1, valPrev);
          engine.drawLine(pt1.x, pt1.y, pt2.x, pt2.y, null, {
            stroke: 'gold',
            strokeWidth: 6
          });
        }
      }
    
      // render element as usual
      defaultRenderer();
    }

      htmlText: true
    }
    
    Inherited From
    FlexChartBase
    Type
    any

    palette

    Gets or sets an array of default colors to use for displaying each series.

    The array contains strings that represents CSS colors. For example:

    // use colors specified by name
    chart.palette = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];
    
    // or use colors specified as rgba-values
    chart.palette = [
      'rgba(255,0,0,1)', 
      'rgba(255,0,0,0.8)', 
      'rgba(255,0,0,0.6)',
      'rgba(255,0,0,0.4)'];

    Type
    string[]

    plotAreas

    Gets the collection of PlotArea objects.

    Type
    PlotAreaCollection

    plotMargin

    Gets or sets the plot margin in pixels.

    The plot margin represents the area between the edges of the control and the plot area.

    By default, this value is calculated automatically based on the space required by the axis labels, but you can override it if you want to control the precise position of the plot area within the control (for example, when aligning multiple chart controls on a page).

    You may set this property to a numeric value or to a CSS-style margin specification. For example:

    // set the plot margin to 20 pixels on all sides
    chart.plotMargin = 20;
    
    // set the plot margin for top, right, bottom, left sides
    chart.plotMargin = '10 15 20 25';
    
    // set the plot margin for top/bottom (10px) and left/right (20px)
    chart.plotMargin = '10 20';

    symbolSize

    Gets or sets the size of the symbols used for all Series objects in this FlexChart.

    This property may be overridden by the symbolSize property on each Series object.

    The default value for this property is 10 pixels.

    Type
    number

    tabOrder

    Gets or sets a value of the **tabindex** attribute associated with the control.

    **tabindex** attribute value can be defined statically for a Wijmo control by specifying it on the control's host HTML element. But this value can't be changed later during application lifecycle, because Wijmo controls have complex structure, and the control may need to propagate this attribute value to its internal element to work properly.

    Because of this, to read or change control's **tabindex** dynamically, you should do it using this property.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Type
    number

    tooltip

    Gets the chart Tooltip object.

    The tooltip content is generated using a template that may contain any of the following parameters:

    • propertyName: Any property of the data object represented by the point.
    • seriesName: Name of the series that contains the data point (FlexChart only).
    • pointIndex: Index of the data point.
    • value: Value of the data point (y-value for FlexChart, item value for FlexPie).
    • x: x-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
    • y: y-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
    • name: Name of the data point (x-value for FlexChart or legend entry for FlexPie).

    To modify the template, assign a new value to the tooltip's content property. For example:

    chart.tooltip.content = '<b>{seriesName}</b> ' +
       '<img src="resources/{x}.png"/><br/>{y}';
    

    You can disable chart tooltips by setting the template to an empty string.

    You can also use the tooltip property to customize tooltip parameters such as showDelay and hideDelay:

    chart.tooltip.showDelay = 1000;
    

    See ChartTooltip properties for more details and options.

    Type
    ChartTooltip

    Methods

    addEventListener

    addEventListener(target: EventTarget, type: string, fn: any, capture?: boolean, passive?: boolean): void
    

    Adds an event listener to an element owned by this Control.

    The control keeps a list of attached listeners and their handlers, making it easier to remove them when the control is disposed (see the dispose and removeEventListener methods).

    Failing to remove event listeners may cause memory leaks.

    The passive parameter is set to false by default, which means the event handler may call event.preventDefault(). If you are adding passive handlers to touch or wheel events, setting this parameter to true will improve application performance.

    For details on passive event listeners, please see Improving scrolling performance with passive listeners.

    Parameters
    • target: EventTarget

      Target element for the event.

    • type: string

      String that specifies the event.

    • fn: any

      Function to execute when the event occurs.

    • capture: boolean Optional

      Whether the listener should be handled by the control before it is handled by the target element.

    • passive: boolean Optional

      Indicates that the handler will never call preventDefault().

    Control
    Returns
    void

    applyTemplate

    applyTemplate(classNames: string, template: string, parts: Object, namePart?: string): HTMLElement
    

    Applies the template to a new instance of a control, and returns the root element.

    This method should be called by constructors of templated controls. Therefore, this method is not available. It is responsible for binding the template parts to the corresponding control members.

    For example, the code below applies a template to an instance of an InputNumber control. The template must contain elements with the 'wj-part' attribute set to 'input', 'btn-inc', and 'btn-dec'. The control members '_tbx', '_btnUp', and '_btnDn' will be assigned references to these elements.

    this.applyTemplate('wj-control wj-inputnumber', templateString, {
      _tbx: 'input',
      _btnUp: 'btn-inc',
      _btnDn: 'btn-dec'
    }, 'input');
    
    
    ```

    Parameters
    • classNames: string

      Names of classes to add to the control's host element.

    • template: string

      An HTML string that defines the control template.

    • parts: Object

      A dictionary of part variables and their names.

    • namePart: string Optional

      Name of the part to be named after the host element. This determines how the control submits data when used in forms.

    getTemplate

    getTemplate(): string
    

    Gets the HTML template used to create instances of the control.

    This method traverses up the class hierarchy to find the nearest ancestor that specifies a control template. For example, if you specify a prototype for the ComboBox control, which does not specify a template, it will override the template defined by the DropDown base class (the nearest ancestor that does specify a template).

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    string

    hitTest

    hitTest(pt: any, y?: number): HitTestInfo

      The Y coordinate of the point (if the first parameter is a number).

    Returns
    HitTestInfo

    initialize

    initialize(options: any): void
    

    Initializes the control by copying the properties from a given object.

    This method allows you to initialize controls using plain data objects instead of setting the value of each property in code.

    For example:

    grid.initialize({
      itemsSource: myList,
      autoGenerateColumns: false,
      columns: [
        { binding: 'id', header: 'Code', width: 130 },
        { binding: 'name', header: 'Name', width: 60 } 
      ]
    });



    // is equivalent to grid.itemsSource = myList; grid.autoGenerateColumns = false; // etc.

    The initialization data is type-checked as it is applied. If the initialization object contains unknown property names or invalid data types, this method will throw.

    Parameters
    • options: any

      Object that contains the initialization data.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns

    Static invalidateAll

    invalidateAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
    

    Invalidates all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.

    Use this method when your application has dynamic panels that change the control's visibility or dimensions. For example, splitters, accordions, and tab controls usually change the visibility of its content elements. In this case, failing to notify the controls contained in the element may cause them to stop working properly.

    If this happens, you must handle the appropriate event in the dynamic container and call the invalidateAll method so the contained Wijmo controls will update their layout information properly.

    Parameters
    • e: HTMLElement Optional

      Container element. If set to null, all Wijmo controls on the page will be invalidated.
